    Harden was clearly out of gas. This is what happens when your coach decides to go with a 7 man rotation. You have ZERO chance to run a functional offense in overtime.

    Forget OT, this game should've been won in regulation but going 16-48 from three (Gordon and Williams 1-12 combined) is what killed us. This loss is on those two more than anyone else. Gordon's clumsiness on a behind the back dribble killed the last possession too.

    Rockets late game is the worst! Showed a lot in the season and even in the first round. Charles is right, the rockets play really different during end game

    This really hurts but the Rockets need to learn from it.

    It isn't over yet. The Spurs aren't better than us. We just need to play our game for all 48.

    Enough with the walking of the ball and the milking of the clock. It never works because it allows the best d in the world to get set.

    Referees, a fairly officiated game 6 isn't too much to ask is it? That was absolute horse **** what you just did.

    I'm not sure how much more of this I can take, so in away, if we go out on Thursday, at least i don't have to endure another seires of this. This series also reminded me of how annoying the stupid spurs are but against warriors, it'll be 3 times worse.

    D'Antoni, should not have let the Rockets slow down the pace in the 4th and OT, playing with pace favors the Rockets. We keep running down the clock and there is not enough time to move the ball around to get a good shot.

    Maybe we could just put your big ass out there to gobble up some rebounds

    Harden needs to work on conditioning, turnovers, and 3pt shooting.

    Still I felt we should have won this

    **** man. Tough loss, really tough loss to swallow. I'm upset at the team as a whole. It's like everybody thought McFail was back on the bench. Thankfully my dog was chilling with me the whole time keeping me calm. On to the next game.

    harden sure loves to completely embarrass himself once he starts getting too much praise.

    My gawd how many times did James take that step back 3 on the second half and OT ! It was off after the first half but he kept on taking it

    have been saying this thing forever, he has already got this habit and coaches doesn't even care, totally agree, end of game and over time turnover is a killer because everybody is tired, if you gave up easy points you are never going to win, this game proves harden is still one level below all the super stars like lebron and co

    Their star player isn't mentally strong enough for playoffs. Harden just gets tired, frustrated, and crumbles.

    **** that ****, you guys can't tell me Harden's not point shaving. He did everything he could to ensure a loss. Gordon was wide open the whole ****ing quarter

    Whatever...beating the Spurs without Parker AND Kawhi would be embarassing, especially after this loss...
